MONEY XARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK: The quotations in the general discount market continues firm, and the inquiry for accommodation shows a slight degree of activity: The number of applicants for monetary aid have been more numer als during the end of the week just concluded, and as this morning the abatement has been very trifling the brokers have evinced but little disposition to relax their terms : bi per cent. remains the charge for first class bills, although some few transactions have been reported at 51 per cent. The report has been issued by the directors of the Imperial Bank for presentation to the fourth half yearly meeting on the 21st inst. The directors have to announce, that in consequence of the extension of business, and with a view to advance the influ. ence of the bank, they deemed it advisable to in. crease the subscribed capital, and give additional strength to the direction. They, therefore, in exercise of the authority vested in the board by the 18th and 21st regulations, issued 12,500 shares of the original capital—in addi tion to the first issue of 10,000 shares—thereby raising the subscribed capital from £1,000,000 to £2,250,000. The premiums on the shares recently issued have placed at disposal the sum of £48,288, which the directors recommend to be carried to the reserve fund; and, they ere happy to state, that the increased capital has placed the bank is a position to meet the requirements of extending connections. The directors have to report that, after payment of the current charges, making allow ance for bad and doubtful debts, and rebate on bills, writing off £2,110 6s. 3d. (the profit on sale of fractional parts of new shares) against preliminary expenses, the profit and loss account exhibits a balance of £63,437 12s. ld., including £48,288, the premium received on new shares, and they recommend the appropriation to be as follows : To dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, for the six months ending 30th June, 1864, on paid up capital of 12,000 shares Ist issue, £9,600 ; to payment at rate of £5 per cent. per annum on paid up capital of 10,500 shares of the 2d and 3d issues in lieu of dividend, £849 5a 3d; to reserve fund, premium on new shares, £48,288; to balance to be carried forward to credit of profit and loss new account, £4,700 6s 10d—total, £63,437 12s ld. The following gentlemen have joined the direction, viz. :—H. L. Bischoffiheim, Esq., A. P. Petrocochino, Esq., A. A. Ralli, Y.A., D. Stern, Esq., and their appointment will have to be con. truaed by the shareholders. Two o'CLocK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 40c.

The wheat trade in the country markets held on Satur day ruled firm, and prices advanced in some instances is per quarter. For all descriptions of spring corn there was a steady demand, and the quotations had an upward ten dency. For flour, the trade ruled firm. According to New York advices, the export demand for wheat and flour was by no means active. Prices, however, fluctuated considerably owing to the continuous rise and fall in the value of gold. On the continent the corn trade, generally, is firm. seasonably good supplies of home-grown produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 13,656 quarters of wheat, 40,015 oats, 20 linseed, 105 sundry seeds, and 610 sacks of flour. The market was moderately supplied with most descrip tions of foreign wheat. Generally speaking, the trade was quiet, yet no change took place in prices compared with Monday last, Fresh up to our market to day the arrivals of home grown wheat were ou the increase, and the condition of the produce on the stands was good. The samples exhibited ' for sale were few, but they represented a considerable quan tity of produce, and more than is usually brought forward at this season of the year. The trade consequently was rather quiet; nevertheless the bulk of the supply was dis posed of, and last Monday's prices were fairly supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in .nodorate request, at late rates. The supply of barley on sale was very moderate. For grinding qualities the trade was firm, and prices advanced Is per quarter. In malt about an average business was transacted, on former terms. There was a large supply of oats on the stands—never theless, all descriptions moved off freely, at an advance of 6d per quarter from Monday last. Beans were in short supply, and the trade ruled firm, at an advance of is per quarter. The value of peas had an upward tendency, and the show of samples was very moderate. Fot flour there was a fair inquiry, on former terms. CURRENCY FEB.

The quality of the foreign beasts and sheep was very middling. The arrivals of beasts fresh up fr3m our own grazing districts were on the increase, and in average condition. All breeds moved off slowly, at a de cline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 4d per 81b., and a total clearance of the supply was not effected. The general top figure for beef was 4d per 81bs. The Lin colnshire season has opened remarkably well as to quality, far better than during the last three or four years. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,600 Scots, crosses, and shorthorns ; from Lin colnshire, 2,000 shorthorns, &c, ; from other parts of Eng land, 700 various breeds; from Scotland, 189 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 70 oxen and heifers. We were heavily supplied with sheep, and the mutton trade was very dull, at 4d per filers lees money. Tho best Downs and half-breds changed hands at 6s 2d, the best Lincolns, 4s 6d per Blbs. The supply of lambs was moderate, and sales progressed slowly, at from Os Sd to 6s 8d per 81bs. The general quality of the supply was only middling.

This morning Mr John Humphreys, the coroner for the eastern division of the county of Middlesex, resumed at the Prince of Wales Tavern, Hackney, the inquiry into the death of Mr Briggs, who was attacked on the North London rail Way on the night of Saturday the 9th inst., and who died on the following night. It will be remembered that at the inquest which the coroner opened a week ago to-day Mr J, T. Briggs, the son of deceased, identified the body, and spoke of the things contained in the carriage being his property. It was also proved by Mr James Hudson, the landlord of the Milford Castle, Hackney Wick, that about 20 minutes past 10 on Saturday night (the 9th inst.) the body of Briggs was brought to his house. Since that time a post mortem examination of the body has been made by experienced surgeons called in by the coroner for that pur pose, and much anxiety has been evinced to ascertain the views of those gentlemen in reference to the conflicting rumours which have prevailed as to the immediate cause of death. Mr Francis Toulmin, F.R.C.S., said he saw Mr. Briggs at Bow on Saturday night. He was perfectly unconscious. He recommended his removal, and he died at his own house on Sunday night. There was a wound in front of the ear and a wound behind. Both hands were bruised. The fore arm was also bruised and grazed. On raising the scalp a considerable quantity of blood was discovered. There was a bruise and an abrasion of the skin above the left temple. The skull was discovered to be fractured. There was also a fracture and depression of the temporal bone. On remov ing the calivarum much blood was found between the bone and the dura mater, and the dare mater and the brain. The structure of the brain was perfectly healthy, except where it had been injured lxy pressure. The lunge and heart showed no signs of disease except being a little flabby, which would be the case in a man of his age. The bruise on the left temple might have been caused by a fall. The fracture of the ear he ascribed to a blow from a blunt in strument. Ho attributed death to a fracture of the skull, and depression of the brain. Tho abrasions on the hands and arms might have been caused by a person being put in an attitude of defence. Mr F. Moojen, of 8, Southampton-street, and Blooms bury-square, who appeared for the relatives of the deceased, said he had no questions to ask Mr Toulmin. Mrs Carstine Buchan, of 23, Nelson-square, Peckham, said she was niece of the deceased. He came to their house on Saturday the 9th, by appointment, to dine. She reached Nelson-square at five o'clock, and left about a quarter past nine. He was at the time in his usual health and spirits. She understood that he was going direct home. He was quite sober. Her husband saw him to the omnibus. Witness did not notice whether he had more than one shirt stud. She did not notice any particular part of his dress. The Coroner—Have you any knowledge of any one having threatened to do him an injury ? Witness—Nut of nay own knowledge. The Coroner—Did you ever hear of such a thing? Witness—Never. The Coroner—Do you know of a person who applied to him for a loan of money which was refused ? Witneas—Yes. The Coroner—Did you ever hear that that person had threatened him ? Witnesa—Yes. The Coroner—Did that person say to the effect that he would murder him ? Witness—l cannot say. The Coroner—You woald not undertake to say it was to that effect ? Witness—No, I would noi. The Coroner—Did he say he would injure him? Witness•—Yes. The Coroner , --Do you know of any other circumstance you would wish to communicate to the court ? Witness—No. The Coroner—Your husband may have borrowed money of Mr Briggs. Your examination has no reference to him ? Witness—No. The Coroner and jury then proceeded to inspect the car riage in which the murder took place . , and which was brought to the ilackney-station for their accommodation.

A MISCHIEVOUS ELL—William Mitchell, a boy about 14 years of age, was brought before Mr Paget charged with throwing stones in a public thoroughfare. Thomas Allen, a police-constable, No. 409 K, stated that last night, a few minutes after 8 o'clock, when people were leaving their churches and meeting houses, the prisoner was throwing stones among them in Brunswick-street, Poplar. He remonstrated with the prisoner when he threw the first stone. His remonstrances were treated with contempt. The prisoner threw four more stones, and he then took him into custody. The prisoner said " You can't take me into custody for throwing stones." Trd told the prisoner he WBB 'mistaken, and that he should not only take him into custody, but lock him up. The prisoner said that he only threw pebbles; but he told the prisoner that pebbles or flint atones made no difference, and he took him to the station-house. Tho prisoner's companions called out " Knock his hat off; kick him , don't go with him ;" but the prisoner did not do that. The witness added that groat complaints had been made by the inhabitants of the Bei:A India-road, Poplar, and the adjoining s t ree ts, of the nn i sa nee of stone throwing by mischievpus boys like the prisoner. He believed the prisoner yvas throwing stones at some girls, but any person near was in danger of having his or her eye cut out. Mr Paget—You are quite right. It is a most dangerous practice. The prisoner said he did not know why he was locked up and brought to a police-court. Mr Paget—For an illegal act of throwing stones, and if any of stones thrown lay you had inj ure d any p erso n you would have been charged with an assault, The prisoner, wha said he was the son of a shipwright, declared ho only threw a few small pebbles at his com- panions. Mr. Paget—That is an o ffence. You had n o r i g ht to throw small pebbles ; you a re a mischievous elf. London boys are always throwing stones. Allen said the " small pebbles" thrown by the prisoner w ere stones picked up in the r oad as lar g e as h e ns ' e gg s. Mr Paget fined the prisoner 5a., whioh his parents paid for him. l•••••••• a... 6 WESTMINSTER. a a t g te e n% potitng very respectable appearance, was to Zown himself from the Chelsea DETERMINED 2 1:17E 3 4E 1 'T AT StrICIDE.--JEIMeB Gan der, charged a r y g e e a d r years t e h f new bridge.

Emma Howard alias Emma Pudney, 23, a wretched looking young woman, was indicted for the wilful murder of her child, George Isaac Howard, otherwise Pudney. Mr Walford and Mr Philbrick prosecuted, and the prisoner was defended by Mr Peirce and Mr E. T, Smith. The facts of this case wore very simple, and the evidence for the prosecution left no doubt that the prisoner had not only committed the act imputed to her, but had also at tempted to destroy the life of another infant; but at the same time it also established the fact that the prisoner was in such a state of mind at the time as not to be criminally responsible for her actions. It appeared that she lived with her mother at Halstead, and that she had two illegitimate children, the one that lost its life, who was about a year and a half old, and another about four years old. She got her living by silk weaving, but it appeared that at the time the offence was committed the prisoner was in a most miser able state of poverty, and this had, no doubt, affected her mind, and, coupled with her mental condition in other re spects, drove her to the commission of the act with which she was charged. It seemed that on the afternoon of the 28th of March the prisoner left her mother's house with her two children, stating that she could not support them, and that it was her intention to go to the union and ask for some assistance. In about an hour she returned without the children, and when she was asked what had become of them, she replied that she hoped they were in heaven. A police constable who happened to be accidentally passing the river Colne, towards which the prisoner had been seen walking with her children in the afternoon in question, heard a child's voice cry out, " I shall fall! I shall fall 1" and on going to the spot he saw the eldest child hanging by both hands from the branch of a tree and up to its neck in water, and the younger child floating in the water and apparently dead. He rescued the first-mentioned child, and then got the second out of the water, but it was quite dead. The constable afterwards went to the house of the prisoner's mother and found her there, and asked her if it was true what he had heard re specting her children, and she replied that it was, and she then said that she would go anywhere with him, but that she wished first to see her dear children. She then said that she first threw the younger child into the water, and that she held the other child to look at him while he was struggling in the river, and then threw him in, and he turned his face to her and called out " Mother, mother !" and she went away. The prisoner did not seem to have attempted to conceal what she had done, and, ac cording to the evidence of her mother, she had been for a considerable period before the occurrence in a low and de sponding state, and that fears were entertained that she would do violence to herself, and that since the birth of her last child she had frequently complained of her head, and it appeared that several members of her family had been con fined in a lunatic asylum. The statement was confirmed by Ithe testimony of a medical gentleman named Sinclair, who had attended the prisoner, and who stated that she had on several occasions exhibited indications of her brain being. affected. The jury, without troubling Mr Peirce to address them, returned a verdict of not guilty on the ground of insanity, and the prisoner was ordered to be detained during her Majesty's pleasure. The wretched creature was removed from the bar shriek ing, and calling out " Oh my dear children I oh my dear children I " This concluded the business of the assizes. WESTERN CIRCUIT—SALISBURY, July 16. NISI PRITJS COURT. (Before Mr Justice Byles.) RHOADES V. COOPER—LIBEL—£I,OOO DAMAGES. Mr Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr H. T. Cole were counse for the plaintiff; Mr Sleigh (specially retained) and Mr Turner represented the defendant. This was an action for libel under very peculiar circum stances. The defendant pleaded not guilty and justification. Mr Sleigh, however, withdrew the latter plea before the case was gone into. The plaintiff, Susan Rhoades, is the daughter of a former tradesman of Salisbury, now deceased, Mr Cooper is a solicitor, about 60, practising in the same town. It appeared he had known the plaintiff all her life, and was always appa rently very fond of her. In 1853 or 1854 he began to pay her more particular attentions, and desired to become her hus band. He walked and drove with her, took her to buy new furniture for his house, and treated her in every respect as his affianced wife. In 1856, when she was about 17 years of age, he seduced her. On her giving birth to a child he refused to marry her, but offered to settle £lOO a year upon her for life, on condition that she remained single, and held no immoral intercourse " with any person whomsoever." A deed was drawn up, and defendant duly paid the first quarter's annuity. From that time to the present some thing like twenty actions have been brought, and they have all been given against the defendant with costs. On each occasion he has pleaded, but failed to prove, hat the young lady is unchaste. He had himself at tempted to renew the intercourse with her, but she refused to see him except in the presence of a third person. In 1555 he wrote her a letter, in which he considered her to be a most persecuted lassie. Some time ago he caused a plea which he intended to plead in " action 21," as he termed it, to be lithographed, and sent copies to Mr Wilson, one of the county coroners, the Salisbury magistrates, and others. In it he charged Miss Rhoades with having had immoral inter course with men, and also with having, since the preceding action, given birth to a second child. This was the libel complained of. The action was originally brought in Lon don, but the defendant applied to a judge at chambers and got the venue changed to Salisbury, for the purpose, it was alleged, of rendering her appearance in court more painful and distressing to the plaintiff, on account of her being so well known in the town. Defendant's conduct was severely censured by Mr Coleman, in his opening address. Miss Rhoades was examined. Witnesses having been called to prove the publication of the libel, Mr Sleigh proceeded to address the court in mitigation of damages. He admitted that the defendant had acted un wisely and upon erroneous impressions, but at the same time he contended that the plaintiff had sustained no da mage through the publication of the libel. Those who know her were shown to entertain as much respect for her now as they did before. There was no tmilice on the part of the defendant, an.'l ho submitted that very moderate damages would meet tht, justice of the case. his Lordship, in summing up, said there could be no question that the document which the defendant had issued was a libel. The only question, therefore, was one of damages, and on this point he would say nothing what ever to influence their decision. The jury almost immediately found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages, £l,OOO. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE —This Day, CITY BETTING —Tuts DAY.

HOUSE OF LORDS—This Evening, The LORD CHANCELLOR took his scat on the woolsack at five o'clock. METROPOLITAN RAILWAY, The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from the inhabitants of Finsbury-square against the ex tension of the metropolitan railway to Trinity-square. Lord REDESDALE gave notice that on Thursday he would move that no petition be received against the metro politan railway schemes unless they should have been pre sented before Friday next. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (Blackburn new lines) —West Sussex Junction Railway—Edinburgh and Glas gowßailway—London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway (new line)—Rickmansworth, Amersham and Cbesbam Railway—llfracombe Railway, and Lancashire Union Railway, LAND SECURITIES COMPANY BILL. The Earl of DONOUGHIIIOIIE presented a petition from the Land Securities Company, and moved that the bill be committed. Lord REDESDALE objected to the motion. He con tended that the bill was the introduction of a new principle into private legislation, and therefore he hoped their lord ships would support him. Every day new schemes were set on foot for money-lending by limited habilito oompanies, and he was satisfied that these schemes should be regu lated by public and not private acts of Parliament. Lord TAUNTON said he should give his hearty support to the noble lord who had just sat down. After a short discussion, the motion for the committal of the bill was rejected. BURIALS REGISTRATION BILL. This bill passed through committee and was reported with an amendment. THE SPANISH SLAVE TRADE. _ Lord BROUGHAM said if there was one thing more than another that gave him great satisfaction in re flecting upon a long parliamentary life, it was the act ho had been so fortunate as to induce Par liament to sanction, namely, that making thel slave trade piracy. He was glad that a great amelioration had taken place in the condition of the negroes in certain parts of the world, but ho had now to complain of the manner in which the Spanish Government had set at naught the ob ligations they were under by the treaty they had entered into, by a continuance, of the stave trade. He was not one of those who held that it did not become this country on any account to interfere with ansthiog going on in a foreign country. In some cases it was honourable to do so—in others it sometimes became a duty. The noble and learned lord then proceeded to comment upon the slave trade carried on in Cuba. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—This Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Tho following bills were read a third time aad passed Earl of Egmont's Estates and New Brighton Pier. METROPOLITAN RAILWAY DISTRICTS BILL. On the order for the third reading of this bill, Mr CRAWFORD moved an amendment to the effect that the bill should be read a third time this day month. He said that the most serious objections existed to the construction of this railway, and he contended that the interests and the feelings of the public would be con sulted best by acceding to his motion. This project was not the result of a company, but merely an engineering specu lation, and he argued that that circumstance should induce the house to regard it with great jealousy. (Hear, hear.) A. considerable difference of opinion prevailed in reference to the necessity or advantage of this Metropolitan Railway scheme. Mr AYRTON and Mr. GOSCHEN opposed the hill. Lord STANLEY supported the bill. He said he was chairman of the select committee on this bill, so that he had opportunities of judging accurately of the whole scheme, which induced him to approve of it. (Hear, and no, no.) Every attention had been paid to the bill i n transitu, and the opinion he expressed was shared in by the other members of the committee, Differences of opinion, as well as differ ences of interest would exist on all matters, but he thought that if hem. members would read the evidence they would see that the conclusion to which the committee had arrived thewitnesses factsasdeveloped examined. Mr HANKE Y opposed the motion for the third reading, on the ground that it would not be duly considered by the House of Lords at this period of the session. After some further discussion the bill was read a third time and passed. CASUAL POOR OF THE METROPOLIS. Mr LYALL asked the president of the Poor Law Board whether he would bring in a bill this session, in order to carry out the special recommendations of that part of the report of the poor law committee, which relates to the casual poor of the metropolis, so that relief may be afforded to that class by legislation before ! next winter ? Mr VILLIERS said that it was his intention to bring in a bill this session, and that the house would have time to consider its provisions fully, as it would be very short. SEA FISHERY (IRELAND.) In reply to Mr BLAKE, Mr PEEL said that he had not had time to receive the annual report et the Sea Fishery Department of the Board of Public Works in Ireland from the department in ques tion. METROPOLITAN FIRE BRIGADE. Mr HANKEY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he had abandoned the idea of bringing in a bill this session relating to a new Fire Brigade for the metropolis; and if so, what course he proposed to follow respecting the better security of the metropolis against loss by fire, in accordance with the recommendation of the committee on that subject. Sir Ci. GREY said that he had no hope of carrying any s uch El this session, but he would introduce a bill on the subject ne at session. THE TREATY OF 1552. In reply to eir J. PAKTNGTON, in reference to the pro 7 Lord PALME.RSTON said that all the parties who irveorfnin the eu h t o o u f s e t o were contracting to this treaty had been in communication. isions of that treaty, and it was per fectly competent for thCm to modify the terms of that treaty, That subject had Wrmed the material of the Con turence that had been held in .. 1- J 011 " n * state e r 0 0 f S o B u O r R r N ei ll atio d n r s ew t BRAZI2%. the Brazil. he said that the continuance of the Act of 1815 which related to slavery in Brazil has ceased to be necessary, for Si.'svery no longer exi[LEFT SPEAKING.] with he a d i t t e en G: The Price of Gold.
